I first came to know about Nyan Cat exactly one month ago when ReelSEO reported the top ten most watched YouTube videos of the year.http://www.reelseo.com/youtube-most-watched-videos-of-the-year/It is a 4-minute animated low resolution graphic cat running non-stop with a catchy never-ending music.Then I found out that my 13 year-old kid actually knew out its existence and told me there was even a 10-HOUR version.At the time of writing this post, there were over 60 million views on the 4-minute version and over 10 million views on the 10-hour version. Today I stumbled upon the “Nyan Cat: Lost in Space” game in the iPhone app store. Curiously, I downloaded it.

What would you do when you are in the middle of your work at home and your kids request you to join them in their game?I would drop everything and play! After all, I am at home and it’s a Sunday!This time my kids opened a board game called the “Game of Life 50″, which had been gathering dust since their uncle gave it to them a year ago. So… I was assigned to be the banker, taking care of money… and I have no idea how the game works!It looks very much like Monopoly… You move your token around the board… Make some money then lose some. The difference between the Game of Life and Monopoly is that in Game of Life, like the name says, is not just about money, but also about getting married, having kids otherwise adopt twins, pay their school fees and more. Everyone’s token is a colored six-seater SUV where you start off with one peg sitting in it. The peg represents you… Blue peg for male and pi…
